Overview

The UCx Digital Station Module allows reuse of Nortel/Avaya digital phones with a UCx Server. The current release specifically supports Norstar/BCM series phones and devices as identified in the Supported Hardware and Capacity section of this guide. The DSM16 will be able to accomodate future software updates to extend the breadth of suported devices. Supoprt for Nortel Meridian/CS1000 digital phones is planned for an upcoming release; the same module will also support E-MetroTel's own digital phones that are planned for a future release.

The Norstar/BCM digital phones work with UCx Server through the Digital Station Module, keeping their original phone user interfaces and having extended Unified Communication feature capabilities from the UCx Server.

The UCx Digital Station Module is ideal for Norstar or BCM200/400/1000 sites for which there is no UCx Digital Gateway Solid State Drive option for re-using existing Nortel hardware.

This guide covers topics including the configuration of the system and maintenance of the UCx Digital Station Module software.
